Development
The Roketsan ASW rocket and launcher system was developed by the Turkish defense company Roketsan to provide a modern anti-submarine warfare capability for surface platforms.[1] The system is going to integrated into various naval platforms, including the ULAQ unmanned surface vessel (USV) and the Ares Shipyard's 76-meter corvette design.[3][4] The system was showcased at the 6th Azerbaijan International Defence Exhibition (ADEX) in 2016.[5] It is a key part of Turkey's efforts to develop homegrown defense systems and missiles to ensure national security.[6]

Design
The Roketsan ASW rocket and launcher system is designed to automatically engage submarines using a platform's existing weapon management system and sonar.[1] The system has a launch range of 500 to 2,000 meters and can be used against targets at depths of 15 to 300 meters.[1][7] The rockets, which can be fired in single or salvo modes, are equipped with a high-explosive warhead and a rocket motor.[1] The detonation depth of the rockets is controlled by a time fuse.[1] The launcher system itself features stabilization and can perform both automatic and manual target engagement.[1] A Fire Control System (FCS) calculates the necessary firing solution using navigation and target information from the surface platform.[1]
